El Katif Center's Ten Gallon Plus Donors
Club has established a great track record in
the Spokane regional community by producing
two annual blood drives annually, which are
held in the spring and fall.
The El Katif Ten Gallon Plus Blood Donors
Shrine Club was chartered in 1989 with eight
donor members, and today has 22 active blood
donor members who have donated a minimum of
10 gallons of blood to the community or to
the Masonic blood bank. The
Shrine/Non-Shrine community blood drive
allows donors to credit their gift of life
to the organization or family of their
choice.
Club President Clarence Jacobson noted that
as of 2000, members of the 10 Gallon Plus
Donors Club have made a total combined
contribution of 367 gallons, which equates
to 2,936 units of blood, plus non-Shriners
from the community since 1989 have donated
1,200 units as a result of the blood drives.
